When you are suffering from breakout prone skin there are 5 main causes, all causes must be treated to gain flawless skin. There is no quick fix when it comes to problematic skin, it takes time and consistency to get results.
1️⃣Hormones – hormones are one of the biggest causes of acne, it often presents itself as breakouts around the chin and mouth.
2️⃣Digestion – foods high in sugar/ dairy or wheat can cause irritation and high amounts of bad bacteria in the gut and in turn your skin must detox this – often shows up as breakouts on the forehead..
3️⃣Dehydration – this is caused from using the wrong cleanser and toner that can be too stripping on the skin or from over exfoliating, it could also be coming from not enough of water and good healthy fats in your diet as they are essential to repair the skins barrier function from the inside.
4️⃣Bacteria or dead skin on the surface of your skin
5️⃣Excess oil if your skin is over producing oil it can block the pores and cause breakouts.
